Gia Dadi, the girlfriend of a player from the Cincinnati Bengals, shared her experiences about life in Cincinnati, highlighting some of the less glamorous aspects of being a WAG (wives and girlfriends of athletes). In a TikTok video on September 28, she expressed concern for her friend who is planning to move to Miami, joking, «Damn, I’m in Cincinnati, Ohio. You’re going to Miami? Take me with you».
Dadi did not name her partner, but it appears to be a close acquaintance of linebacker Shaq Thompson, who recently signed with the Miami Dolphins. At the same time, she quickly added that she actually enjoys living in Cincinnati.
The main point Dadi made was that the life of a WAG is not always as glamorous as it seems, especially when players change teams. «One part of being a WAG that no one talks about is that when the men change, you suddenly lose friends», - she noted, adding that her closest friends have disappeared since the start of training camp.
Dadi previously dated Will Levis, now a player for the New York Jets, when they were in college and at the beginning of his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans. Speculation about her new romance with a Bengals player intensified in August when she posted a video about her daily life that featured the team’s training sessions.
While Dadi does not mind calling herself a WAG, other NFL wives and girlfriends have a different opinion about the label. For example, Kylie Kelsey, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, expressed dissatisfaction with the term, claiming it has a negative connotation. She emphasized that she and her husband strive to separate his work from their personal life.
